This is a press release from the Vodacom Bulls website:
The Blue Bulls Company (Pty) Ltd has secured the services of the Griquas’ tighthead prop Bees Roux.
The 27-year-old Roux has signed a two year contract with the Bulls on Thursday afternoon and he will join up with his new team mates on November, 1.
Roux, who made his Absa Currie Cup debut in 2005 for the Leopards before he joined the Griquas in 2007, says he is extremely excited about all the new challenges and opportunities that await him at Loftus Versfeld and he is convinced that it was the right thing to do at this stage of his career.
“I’ve have a wonderful time in Kimberley with the Griquas and I am sad to leave, but an offer to play for the Bulls is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
“The Bulls are a highly successful team and it will be a huge honour to play with all their world class players.
“I can obviously learn a great deal from them and I would like contribute to what they have achieved in the last couple of seasons.”
Coach Frans Ludeke added that it was very important for the Bulls to sign another experienced tighthead and he is full of confidence that Roux will be able to anchor the Bulls’ scrum.
“Bees has done very well for the Cheetahs in the Super 14 and together with Werner Kruger, Frik Kirsten and Rossouw de Klerk we will be able to go from strength to strength in the future.”
This is really good news for the Bulls supporters as the Bulls scrum has been struggling the past year. Hopefully Bees Roux can make a difference and help the Bulls to once again dominate up front or at least hold their own.

Bees die BULJAN!
Welcome aboard Beesie! We need you to scrum forward ok?
@Supa Die Bloubul – Dink ons sal hom herdoop van Bees na Bul. Hoe goed is hy?
BDB = Bees die Bul, nou weet julle ook wie ek is … 😉
@superBul – hy is n yster speel vir griquas en net hardebaarde kom daar reg boonop is hy vir 2jaar deur dawie afgerig,n goeie kopie
@superBul –
Super, ons sal moet sien hoe goed is hy. Hy speel al n hele paar jaar en daar was laasjaar ook sprake dat hulle hom saam Kirchner sou koop. As hy regtig swak was sou ons dit al gesien het in die verlede want vaskoppe het nie wegrkuipplek nie. Kyk vir Werner en Brok. Ek het hom nie ernstig gevolg nie, maar onder oud stut Dawie Theron het hy seker n paar dinge geleer. Dit kan net n verbetering wees. Hy en Gary kan dalk n groot verskil maak.
Moet sê, het al baie sy naam gehoor, en met so naam pas jy seker mooi in op Loftus.
Maar of hy goed is, weet ek nou nie.

Dankie

Dis lekker om n Beesbul te wees!
Smallies,
Jyt gepraat van Ian Schwartz vroeer. Daai ou beteken baie vir die Bulle!
Ironies laas toe Jake die Bokke afgerig het het hy en sy mediese span alewig vertel die en daai Blou Bul is beseer of krank dan kom speel hulle blinders vir die Bulle. Nou is van hulle rerig gekrok of so lyk dit. Moet se die 3N was verwoed en om 5 uit 6 te wen het baie uit die manne gevat.
@Supa Die Bloubul – 9 Hi There Supa, I had gone when you posted your Barbarians question, but you may have seen I am up for it!! 5th December, hopefully get too meet you and ‘Mrs.Supa’ and get to see Bakkies and Victor too!!
Hello everyone.
See Bulls have some Boks back but not their big guns yet. Good that those players are rested.
Bulle se moontlike voorry in S14 volgende jaar:
Guthro, Gary, Bees
op die bank: Chili en Werner
Lyk al heelwat beter.
@superBul – 11 Hi superBul, listened to ‘Witchta Lineman’ and thought about you today….sorry about the spelling there, (do you know what I am on about)? 🙂
@Supa Die Bloubul – hy is die hoof rede dat die bulle is waar hulle is hy is goud werd vir julle en die bulls moet hom bitter goed oppas.dis nou iemand wat ek vir die fs sal poatch
@Puma – Hi Puma….have you lot been watching ‘Boots and all’ or something?
I am nursing a red wine at the moment, how is your water tasting??? 😆
13@Puma – hallo Puma, sien Plumtree gebruik dadelik die bokke. Dink dit is die regte besluit, want as hul verloor teen Ctahs, dan skuif die WP verby in die eerste plek.
12@carol –
Hi Carol! Yes, we will finally meet and enjoy a good game of rugby! Im looking forward ot that game, some big names playing. PaulD also coming, have you met him?
13@Puma –
Howzit Puma!
10@Supa Die Bloubul – I spoke to Ian Schwartz at the Bulls Union today… very pleasant fella… he was, at the time in negotiations with a Player-Agent….
We’re officially on the Bulls mailing list now for all Press releases… waiting for our accreditation to go through…

Still on the water. But have my mate coming over tomorrow for a braai. Now cant have water then or maybe I might hehe. No cant do that will feel left out.
Forgot about Boots will watch it tomorrow. They have repeats.
16@smallies72 –
Ja, hy werf blykbaar baie goed jong spelers en het n oog vir talent. Is sy kinders op Tuks? My skoonsus het eenkeer gese syt iemand daar ontmoet wat se Ian Scwartz is haar/sy pa en of ek hom ken.
